John Enrico, an independent scholar, is the author of The Lexical Phonology of Masset Haida, editor and translator of Skidegate Haida Myths and Histories, and coauthor (with Wendy Bross Stuart) of Northern Haida Songs (Nebraska 1996). He is currently working on a dictionary of the three extant Haida dialects.

"Haida Syntax makes an enormous contribution to our understanding of the syntax and semantics of Haida. There is very little published material available on this language, and in this book John Enrico brings together a rich range of syntactic and semantic material on the language. . . . A book of this magnitude will make Haida one of the syntactically best described languages."—Keren Rice, author of Morpheme Order and Semantic Scope: Word Formation in the Athapaskan Verb "One of the most valuable features of Haida Syntax is the semantic detail that is given regarding verbs, constructions, etc. This will be immensely useful to linguists of all theoretical persuasions, as they try their hand at analyzing this fascinating language within their own theoretical framework. Also, the extensive discussion of focus and its role within the grammar is very valuable."—Robert D. Van Valin, author of An Introduction to Syntax "Thanks to the long-term research program of John Enrico, the Haida language of the Queen Charlotte Islands will be one of the best documented indigenous languages of North America. . . . There is exceptional depth and breadth to Enrico's research program. . . . [a] massively exemplified and annotated study."—James Kari, Journal of Anthropological Research
